How Climate Sanity Has Been Gored ( Speaking of Al Gore )
Forbes ^ | Feb. 3 2011 - 10:39 am | | Larry Bell

My new book, Climate of Corruption: Politics and Power Behind the Global Warming Hoax, is dedicated to Al Gore, whose invention of the Internet made it possible–and whose invention of facts made it necessary. Beginning with the aggressively hyped 1988 U.S. Senate hearings he organized, no one has done more to melt down complacent minds with stoked-up claims of fossil-fueled climate peril.

In 2006 Gore launched an initial three-year, $300 million “Alliance for Climate Protection” media campaign to promote greenhouse gas reductions. While ads appearing in national television, print, radio, and online outlets were directed to diverse audiences, the ultimate target group was government legislators. As he stated, “NASCAR fans, churchgoers, labor union members, small businessmen, engineers, hunters, spokesmen, corporate leaders, you name it–where public opinion goes, federal policy will follow.”

An example is an early TV segment, narrated by William H. Macy, showing footage of American soldiers storming beaches of Normandy during World War II, a civil rights march, and a moon landing. The message linked these critical historic events to an urgent call for action. “We can’t wait for someone else to solve the climate crisis. We need to act, and we need to do it now. Join us. Together we can solve the climate crisis”.

What crisis? Apparently this was supposed to be self- evident. And what solution? Although the message doesn’t quite tell us, it’s actually very clear. We should all support a war against climate change. The answer, of course, is to support cap-and-trade legislation and alternative energy subsidies. And why?  Speaking before a 2007 U.S. Joint House Energy and Science Committee, Mr. Gore offered a particularly important reason: “As soon as carbon has a price, you’re going to see a wave of investment in it…there will be unchained investment”.

What better way to reduce evil carbon than to make it a profitable commodity?

Al Gore has been busy on both battle fronts, and has made a lot of money in the process.

Guess Gore thought of this scam during his ice tea recycling time at those illegal fundraisers.

He hasn't done it on his own though. I recall after his defeat in 2000 he took some meaningless job at a bank of some kind out West, and was showered with cash. We never heard any more about it until he re-emerged as a well-financed, well-programmed warming enthusiast. Apparently his "employers" there were busy "educating" him for a couple of years, setting up this whole multi-front scam.

Product Description

Foreword written by S. Fred Singer, former director of the U.S. Weather Satellite Service and coauthor of Unstoppable Global Warming.

Melting glaciers, suffering polar bears, rising oceans- these are just a few of the climate change crisis myths debunked by noted aerospace expert Larry Bell in this explosive new book. With meticulous research, Bell deflates these and other climate misconceptions with perceptive analysis, humor, and the most recent scientific data. Written for the laymen, yet in-depth enough for the specialist, this book digs deep into the natural and political aspects of the climate change debate, answering fundamental questions that reveal the all-too-human origins of "scientific" inquiry. Why and how are some of the world s most prestigious scientific institutions cashing in on the debate? Who stand to benefit most by promoting public climate change alarmism? What true political and financial purposes are served by the vilification of carbon dioxide? How do climate deceptions promote grossly exaggerated claims for non-fossil alternative energy capacities and advance blatant global wealth redistribution goals? With its devastating portrayal of scientific and government establishments run amok, this book is an invaluable addition to the tremendously popular literature attacking the scientific status quo. Climate of Corruption will bring welcome relief to all those who are fed up with climate crisis insanity.

Al Gore's foray into pseudo-science will go down in future history books as the largest monetary scam in history, right behind the Dodd/Frank mortgage grenade, the Social Security Madoff (Ponzi) scheme, and the Federal Reserve (money from nuthin' loaned to taxpayers at real interest).

Quite an accomplishment for a Nobel Peace Prize-winning crazed sex poodle.

Whoops Ernie, I was supposed to get back to you on the fate of the CCX. Well better late then never. heheh.
"GIM and Goldman Sachs were also big investors in the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), which expected to become the New York Stock Exchange for carbon offset marketing provided that the federal cap-and-trade legislation Gore has lobbied for was enacted. The organization closed its doors after November 2010 elections removed that likelihood."

Yeah! I came through.

A November 2009 story in the New York Times was the closest the news media has ever come in describing the extent of Gore’s green business interests:

I try to NOT speak of Gore if I don't have to...he's a raving, fanatical, lunatic.
